How do you keep this safe? I would be worried someone would grab it!
I just put it in the back of my car /s
Usually you have to lift them straight up, often with another clip to release. You canβt just pull them off in passing - youβd pull down the bike, perhaps fall too, and have nothing to show for it.
Ooh! Makes sense. What about the bike itself? Iβm curious about a good locking system for my own.
I do lock my bike up even if it's for a minute and only leave it in places with a lot of eyes, like right in front of the shop or motorcycle parking area, and i don't routinely leave my bike at the same area so it's harder to aim at me. It's also a damn heavy bike, at 33kg with battery, so carrying it is a challenge. Still i kinda have to deal with it else i would have a hard time going out with it π
